XSLT Server Side Injection Extensible Stylesheet Languaje Transformations

It is used to transform XML documents in another kind. Versions: 1, 2 and 3 1 is the most used.
The transformation can be done in the server or in the browser).

The most used frameworks are: Libxslt Gnome, Xalan Apache and Saxon Saxonica.

In order to exploit this kind of vulnerability you need to be able to store xsl tags in the server side and then access that content. An example of this kind of vulnerability can be found on https://www.gosecure.net/blog/2019/05/02/esi-injection-part-2-abusing-specific-implementations/
